we finally got the beach leak and now nobody agrees if the beach is crowded
we spent days begging for beach footage so we could finally settle the npc density argument.\n\nbeach leak drops and within five minutes half the comments are saying EMPTY and the other half are pointing at a crowd like 50 meters away.\n\nit also looks close to dusk, so now we have invented pedestrian shift changes to defend our preferred answer.\n\none random dev-build clip was never going to solve this. apparently that knowledge will not stop us from counting tiny people in the background anyway.
we finally got the benchmark and immediately changed the benchmark methodology
if i have to zoom 800 percent and circle pedestrians in red the density argument is already cooked
dusk is a real variable though. miami beach at 4pm and 8pm are not the same planet. still not calling anything confirmed from this.
